Hidden #3
Hidden Secrets
A forgotten inheritance. A decades-old murder. A secret that refuses to stay buried.
Addie Michaels never expected anything from her father—not while he was alive, and certainly not after his death. So when she inherits a secluded cabin on Lake Verret, she assumes it will be nothing more than an unwanted reminder of the man who abandoned her.
She couldn't have been more wrong.
Waiting for Addie at the lake is a family secret she never knew existed, an uncle hidden from her past, and a decades-old murder mystery that feels eerily familiar. When she discovers the crime scene resembles one of Wade's unsolved case sketches, Addie's unique ability tells her the answers she needs are closer than she ever imagined.
But uncovering the truth comes at a cost.
As ghosts from the past threaten to destroy her relationship with Jake and the people she trusts begin to pull away, Addie must face the most dangerous mystery of all—the secrets surrounding her own family.
With her gift growing stronger and the killer's secrets coming closer to the surface, Addie must decide how much she is willing to risk for the truth.
Because some inheritances are more dangerous than others.
The third book in the Addie Michaels paranormal romantic suspense series, this gripping mystery can be read as a standalone or enjoyed as part of the complete series.
Perfect for readers who
Psychic heroines and supernatural mysteries
Paranormal romantic suspense
Ghost stories with a romantic twist
Cold case investigations and family secrets
Slow-burn romance with danger and intrigue
Some mysteries haunt you. Some secrets follow you home.

The soap opera continues... but the mystery was actually pretty decent in this one.
Still no real connection between Jake and Addie. They just 'are'. It make Jake's character feel very flat and unimportant to the story. Taken for granted?
But I did like it better than the second book. If it weren't for the mystery, the soap operaness of Addie's friends would have dragged the book down.
Safety is fine. Not sure why the blurb makes it sound like Jake and Addie are on the rocks in this one. That might have make it more interesting, but really there's just a wee tiny minuscule bit of jealousy.

This was a great third book, that kept up the anticipation of the mystery while revealing new things about Addie's abilities. I also like the continual work on the group's dynamics and individual character development.

AMAZING
This story along with all the other Hidden stories are so touching. Each character is unique in their own way and each one become important to you. Their love for one another and reading the way they interact with one another makes you wish you had those kinds of friends. I gave the book a five star because Kristin puts everything she has in a story. You can easily see every part of the book as if it was real. She shows what friendship is supposed to be and she shows what love is in every book. Another amazing read!!

Loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I should have said this in my other reviews but Kristen Coley has done an amazing job, these books have many characters and she has managed to give them all such different characteristics but still mesh together. I can’t imagine being able to do that and they all stay true to themselves. Addie and Jake are perfect together and all of their friends and family come together perfectly. I just love Addie’s gift and now Wade’s together with the rest of the team they solve mysteries that I don’t believe would have been solved otherwise.

I loved the first book in this series and how it didn't leave me with heart ache. I couldn't help but love the second book as it drew me strait in. This book??!! This one I couldn't put down! I loved it and couldn't have been happier with the ending. Talk about the connections and how you constantly wondered what was next and in wondering couldn't put the book down.

Entire series 👍
I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about reading this series, it's pretty much right up my alley but a YA series about a psychic girl made me wonder if it would be worth reading. I loved this series!!! I can't wait for book 4 to come out. I would seriously recommend this series if you like mystery a touch of romance fun banter.

This is not just a series but a world you dive into and a family you know
There are just some books or series that delve into your heart and stay there and this is one of them. From book 1, this has been an excellent story that gets better with each book. I love these characters and their world.

Hidden Secrets begins when Addie learns about her father, and why he stayed away. This opens up a whole new mystery and now the gang must do what they can in order to figure it out before it is too late.
This book was another good one in the series, and I really enjoyed learning more about Addie and her family. I thought it was great!

Adding
This is progressing at just the right speed not slow and not fast to where it doesn't make sense. The characters are evolving into amazing people I could relate too. The relationships are getting complex and we are seeing intricacies of how she deals with her abilities and them. This is a great addition
